yooo, i didn't know that's how that worked. that's awesome.
so i have a game that's more-or less an RPG on a chess board...
not really sure how the scripting system works yet or if im going to have a knack for it lol
they peices/units have hp/stamina and some basic commands like move or attack that use up some resources (stamina)
the worst part i can think of is picking the units at the start of the game, resource tracking & how the peices are allowed to move

What is your goal that you want to achieve. What's the game supposed to look like?
shell nebula
am i looking at something i might want to find some help with or...?
uhm.. i DO have some rules that im not too keen on just droppin on any public space atm.
but uhmmmm...
orchid wraith
Let me tell you one thing: Noone cares about your rules or ideas. And I don't mean that in a negative way.
Everyone has their own ideas they hold in high(er) regards than anyone elses.
shell nebula
i know what you mean.
orchid wraith
Stealing of ideas isn't a thing that happens. Execution is.
shell nebula
its just a tad long and idk which parts to include here atm. just getting a feel for it atm.
stealing is not the issue lol
orchid wraith
You may keep your rules for yourself, that's fine enough. But without knowing how the game is supposed to work, mechanically, it is hard to tell you what to do and how to do it.
orchid wraith
stealing is not the issue lol
Never mind me then.
shell nebula
oh i get that, wasjust the basic scope of it. not looking for specificas atm... but there are peopel here who can help when i have that sort of thing better figured what to post and ask for?
orchid wraith
Still something you should start with or could start with is:
What is a game similar to yours?
So one can roughly imagine what it's supposed to be like.
Is it a board game in the 'classic' sense? Something you can play fully analog for example?
shell nebula
i see where you are coming from and it makes me have a promising oppinion about this... if you want to personally help i'll get back to you soon enough (end of the day or next couple days)
orchid wraith
Or is scripting a requirement, due to how something like 'Fog of War' works.
I still have no clue what you want.
shell nebula
its mostly just the scriping of certain elemnts to get them to do what i need them to when i get there. not wasting HOURS AND DAYS on videos that arent helping my dumbass do what i need to do lolol
orchid wraith
What specific help do you need. Help with Scripting? Creating assets? (those are the two primary ones)
What kind of functionality is the script going to have.
shell nebula
i just know where my weaknesses are and syntax and otherwise is not my strong suit
orchid wraith
well depending on the scope, basic knowledge of programming can help a lot and might suffice entirely
shell nebula
i'll elt you know right away? like i said... i was just looking to see if there were actually people around to help. some communities aren't too new person frindly
orchid wraith
Just keep in mind: TTS does not offer any game logic. You have to do everything yourself.
So moving around figured, allocating tokens, whatever else: You'll have to do that from scratch yourself.
shell nebula
i ahve everything i know i need it to do. i just suck at programming. despite my best efforts.
orchid wraith
So the more complex the interactions, the more difficult the script is going to be.
If you have specific scripting questions, ask in #scripting
I'm not a programmer though, but there are a lot that can help you.
